BIOkinetic

October 10 - November 19, 1989

BIOkinetic features installations by six Chicago artists: Wendy Jacob, Gary Justis, Michael Paha, John Pakosta, John Ploof, and Thomas Skomski. As has always been true of kinetic art, these works are concerned with movement. Unlike earlier, more mechanistic kinetic sculpture, the works in BIO kinetic  focus on life processes such as erosion, respiration, growth, and decay. In delightful and thoughtful ways, these artists combine movement and natural and man-made materials to produce a kind of “living sculpture.”
